Theater shut down in AP and Telangana put on temporary hold ahead of Thug Life, Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s release

by

In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the dispute between cinema exhibitors and producers escalated significantly as the exhibitors called for a total closure of single-screen cinemas from June 1 onwards. This decision poses a threat to upcoming blockbuster movies like Thug Life and HHVM.

For a moment, the strike or halt has been postponed following mutual understanding, and there’s a provisional deal in place. Exhibitors have decided to suspend the strike since these two films are deemed significant for their financial prospects.

At the last gathering, the main topic of discussion was a dispute regarding the distribution method for shared income.

Theater owners are insisting on a profit-sharing system based on revenues, coupled with an extended duration before a movie is made available both in theaters and digitally.

The gathering lacked successful outcomes since numerous creators and manufacturers didn’t attend, preventing them from contributing their ideas.

In response to the upcoming theatrical releases of two significant movies, Thug Life and HHVM, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce has decided to temporarily lift the strike, offering their support for the anticipated boom in business.

According to previous news, the proposed strike starting on June 1 might have affected more than just these two movies’ ticket sales.

Furthermore, an extended shutdown might have significantly impacted the successful launches of projects such as Kuberaa and Kannappa.

With the recent crisis now behind us, I’m thrilled to share that our long-planned ventures can finally move forward as anticipated. Given their solid foundations and the captivating content they promise, I have high expectations for their success in the entertainment landscape, translating to strong box office performances.

For people who don’t know yet, Thug Life is scheduled to be released on June 5, 2025, and Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set to premiere in theaters on June 12.
